Have you ever considered the immeasurable power a community holds when it unites for the cause of education? Charis Newton-Thompson, with her deeply rooted ties to the historic village of Buxton, Guyana, joins us to illuminate just how transformative that power can be. Witness her reflection on a journey marked by educational triumphs and the spirit of empowerment, including the awe-inspiring story of six pregnant women who stopped a train to make their voices heard. Charis's narrative is not just her own but a beacon for the spirit of a village that champions the collective progress of its people.
